What it skips

ahrefs.com misses 1 thing most peers do.

Most common first. The rare ones are opportunities, not gaps. Open a row to see who does.

Absence is a measurement, not a recommendation: we do not know why a tactic is missing, whether it belongs here, or whether adding it would change anything. Where a walk stopped early, a tactic living deeper would also read as not detected.

How it ranks

Where it ranks.

Against its own peers: the same funnel type and walk depth.

Every figure on this page was read off the live site by Roentgen 1.34.0 on 2026-11-01, a script that reads page structure, computed CSS and matched text. No AI judgment, nothing estimated, and a capture’s numbers stay as read.

How this was measured

Detection coverage, not a verdict. A low count means we did not detect those checks, not that the funnel is weak.

Walk 200 links on the entry page, 182 walkable. 4 matched a funnel step; we captured 4 pages in all, this one included.

Absence is a measurement, not a recommendation: we do not know why a tactic is missing, whether it belongs here, or whether adding it would change anything. Where a walk stopped early, a tactic living deeper would also read as not detected.
